Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 158 Ancient Tombs

The moonlight shone pale on the mountainside, and I couldn't see anything around, but I could hear all kinds of strange sounds from the depths of the dense forest in the ditch down the slope. This pit stunned Agui and the others.

The mountain people are superstitious. Seeing a coffin is always considered unlucky. They looked at each other, but Agui had no idea, and said to himself: "If you see a coffin in the middle of the night, you have to wash your eyes when you go back."

The other person knelt down and looked at it, and asked, "Whose grave is this, and why was it dug in such a deep mountain?"

No one answered him, Yun Cai was so frightened that she hid behind Mengli, who looked more reliable, and glanced at her quietly, thinking: "She is also a girl, isn't she afraid? It's amazing!"

Ah Ning, who was standing beside her, saw her eyes and instantly understood, and smiled helplessly. She is really a simple little girl.

Looking at the coffin, Wu Xie was sure that it was a deserted tomb, not a tomb of a rich family, and it should have been in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because a coffin of this quality can be preserved until now in an area with such abundant rain, and it cannot be too early.Seeing grass growing in the mud in the coffin, the coffin has been washed out by rain and exposed to the wild for at least a few years, and the bones inside must have been destroyed.

The pit was not big, and they took photos with their flashlights, but they couldn't find any trace of Papa Panma inside.People are definitely not there, but Wu Xie feels that this may be the place where Panma hides things, because it is indeed very suitable for hiding things.The iron block that Panma's son mentioned may be below.

The dogs were still barking, causing people to be irritable. Agui pulled the dogs away and let them wander around, then picked up branches and rummaged inside.

The mountain people did not dare to go down into the pit. Ordinary people would be jealous of the coffin, but the dog's reaction told them that there must be something in the hole.You can't find it like this.

Wu Xie looked at the mountain here, and even he, who only knew the surface of Feng Shui, could tell that this place was definitely not suitable for burying people.This is a mountain pass, where all the water on the mountain will gather, and people buried here will die within a few days.This tomb would not be the large tomb in Yangjiao Mountain that Fatty speculated, it could only be an ordinary ancient tomb in a barren mountain, so there should be no danger.

So Wu Xie told Agui not to disturb it, and he and his brother went down to the pit to find it.Mengli and Aning were watching from above.

Wu Xie is familiar with the way of robbing caves, let alone turning over a coffin, not to mention that the little brother is still by his side.

Agui was very surprised, thinking how a city person like Wu Xie was so courageous, and Yun Cai looked at him eagerly, as if he couldn't react.

Yuncai glanced at Mengli quietly again, and then at A'Ning: she looks so amazing! !

Wu Xie and the younger brother went down into the pit one by one. Because the pit was on a slope, one side of the pit was shallow and the other was high. You could see the broken wall formed by the collapse of the hillside. Half of the coffin was embedded in the broken wall. It's not too small, but the residual paint on it is an old black wooden coffin, and half a foot of mud has sunk into the bottom of the tomb—either the soil here has subsided, or the old coffin is extremely heavy.

This kind of crude burial method is not affordable for ordinary people. The coffin seems to be a commodity on the road, and it may be the comprador of the former landlord here.The inside of the tomb has been dilapidated, and there is mud everywhere.

I don't know if he was infected by the fat man. Seeing the coffin, Wu Xie's heartbeat also started to speed up. He told himself that he must behave as a layman at this time, otherwise he would be easily suspected by Agui and the others.

The little brother took the flashlight, brushed aside the weeds, and after looking around, they saw some blood stains from handprints on the inconspicuous part of the coffin.

The little brother asked Wu Xie to help him take a picture, and stretched out his hand to compare and draw. The handprint on the coffin should have been glued on when he leaned over to balance his body.The little brother also squatted down, and there was a crack in the coffin below. Without thinking about it, he put his hand into the crack and started digging in the mud.

Hearing the sound of the mud churning, Wu Xie felt his back getting hairy. He just touched the mud a few times before pulling out his hand, holding a piece of mud sticky thing in his hand.Shaking off the mud on it, it was a plastic bag with blood on it, but the little brother shook it a few times, and they found that the plastic bag was empty.

"How could this be?" Wu Xie asked strangely, "Where are things?"

"The blood is fresh, he took the things away." The little brother looked around and said calmly, "It's not long, it must be nearby."

"So he came here to get the things after he was injured?" Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief. There was a distance from the injured place to here. Since he could walk over, the injury would not be too serious.

The little brother touched it again, but found nothing. They climbed up, and Wu Xie told Agui about the situation.

An old hunter without a gun, although strong and experienced, could never escape the attack of a leopard, and it is strange why he came here after being injured, he should return to the village immediately.He shed so much blood all the way, came to take this iron piece, what was the reason, did he think it would be dangerous to put the iron piece here?

They called the dog back, and with the ancient tomb as the center, several people went to look for it.

A group of people went up the mountain, and a group of people walked along the mountainside. The four of Mengli followed Agui and his daughter to the bottom of the valley.

Wu Xie poked Aning, and Aning looked at him suspiciously, as if asking "what's the matter".

Wu Xie said in a low voice, "Ask Yun Cai, besides leopards, is there anything else in the woods that can attack people?"

Aning smiled and said, "Why don't you ask?"

Wu Xie said awkwardly: "You are all girls, so you can definitely talk."

"Then why don't you let Mengli ask?" Aning joked.

Wu Xie glanced at the little brother next to Mengli, the look was self-evident - he didn't dare to offend the little brother.

Aning asked Yuncai: "Aside from leopards, what other things in the forest can attack people?"

"There used to be too many, but now they are all eaten up. There used to be a lot of pythons, but I haven't seen them for a long time now. The ones that attack people may be wild boars. But wild boars are very timid, and they only attack people when they are provoked. Papa Panma is very experienced, it is impossible to provoke a wild boar without a weapon." Yun Cai replied seriously.

Wu Xie felt that this was possible, but he still couldn't explain the reason why Papa Panma came here to take the things away.

At this time, Wu Xie had a faint doubt in his heart, whether the danger that Papa Panma encountered was not an animal, or whether it was the mysterious people who burned the house that attacked him?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a rush of dogs barking from the direction of another group of people in the distance.
